Ultra-fine particle formation using principle of rapid expansion of supercritical solutions`
… of particle formation using the principles of Rapid Expansion of Supercritical Solutions (RESS) have been documented. In the RESS process, the solution is rapidly expanded through a well-defined nozzle which leads to formation of ultra-fine particles. An extensive parametric study was conducted …

Rapid Expansion and Specialization of the Bitter Taste Receptor Family in Amphibians
… species, although there is evidence of either rapid gene turnover and/or gene conversion. Next, we narrow our analysis to five scientifically and ecologically relevant batrachian species, and perform deep RNA sequencing of seven oral and extra-oral tissues. We find that the tongue is the primary …

Production and characterization of composite nano/micro sized particles by rapid expansion of supercritical solutions (ress) co-precipitation
… binders were produced by co-precipitation using rapid expansion of supercritical solutions (RESS). The binders used in this study are poly (vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (VDF-HFP22), polystyrene (PS) and 7-amino-4-methyl coumarin (AMC). The RDX/VDF-HFP22 and RDX/PS co-precipitated …

The central american free trade agreement: Effects on labor in the maguila sector
<p>The rapid expansion of free trade has challenged workers rights in Central America. Unions are continuously deprived of customary support and resources to enforce their rights, especially in the maquiladoras. The expansion of maquila production has often been accompanied by an informal agreement …
